[QUOTE=l2ridehd;333134]Your insurance company does not void your policy if you have a gas can in your garage. Think about it. Which is worse, having two cars in there each holding 20 to 25 gallons each for a total of 40 plus, and a cart with 6 gallons. Or a 5 gallon gas can.

I don't have as much confidence in a cheap can I bought at Wal-Mart compared to the technology of my car. If the can should leak any fumes, the gargage door opener may set it off. That's the reason I keep a gallon can for my power washer on my lanai. I used to keep an extra gal. of gas in the saddlebag of my bike which came in handy on many long rides to remote areas. I hated opening the bag though and experiencing the strong smell of gas. Never had much faith leaving that can in the garage. It was one of those red gas cans that are sold everywhere. I never have smelled fumes from the bike or car though.
